That's not really fair.Labeling a whole section of the voting public as benefits scum.
It's not an easy choice for alot of people.Yes Labour are a mess and i won't vote for them with Corbyn,McDonell and Abbott at the helm but many myself included will never vote Tory due to how harsh they are on the vulnerable people in the country and the working class.Bedroom tax and targeting the disabled etc.

Labour
They probably wont win, but we can at least take a few seats from them, or else they're going to have unlimited power. I say to everyone who is undecided, vote wisely, take as many seats from the Tories as we can, at this point it's the best we can hope for.

Labour. Corbyn is still better than Trump's Puppy May so I'm not even fussed about him.

A long time ago it was believed a massive vote of confidence for Winston Churchill was certain.
The voters weary from the war sent him packing in a big way, astonishing near all by getting behind Labour.
Trusting Labour and Attlee to start rebuilding Britain following the war.

If all voters who hate this govt.even only a tenth of what I do,also if those who didn't vote in the EU referendum who may have voted remain,vote in this election,then just 'possibly' another unexpected shock could be the result.

Politics is all over the place these last few years, banana skins can line all streets and alleys on the campaign trail.
If the nasty divisions of the referendum campaign surface too again,which they more than likely will.
Then who knows despite all the polling at this precise moment in time.

She has also again shown by calling this election,that no matter how strong or how often she says anything,her word is near totally meaningless.

I think this also, if those people who didn't vote in the referendum and who have been very vocal about it since actually go out and vote who knows what will happen, apathy is a problem and letting other people vote for you, or saying your vote won't count for anything anyway, 4% is what took us over the line into Brexit, if you do nothing else this year, vote regardess of whether you think it will make a difference, at least you can say you tried.

Absolutely.
This could well backfire on Theresa May,if people who really want this shower out ensure they don't split the opposition votes to her.

I find it fascinating how few welsh people are actually interested in plaid. I think even in Wales by some, they're viewed as a bit of a joke party. At least from my experiences over the years of talking politics with my fellow welsh. R.

Conservatives - and all Labour supporters should do the same.

Theresa May made a mistake calling this GE and I'll tell you why. If she had stuck to the plan of leaving the GE until 2020 then she would have a victorious sweep against Corbyn and secured a Conservative government until 2025. Now when she wins this GE in May, the Labour Party gain a new leader, and IF this leader is respectable to the electorate and May stuffs up Brexit, Labour will win the 2020 election. Which is annoying for me as a Tory but all your Reds should jump on this band wagon.

That has occurred to me too, actually... I've started to wonder if what people are voting for, rather than ANY ideology, is simply "against the grain"... across all of Western politics lately.


Lab/Lib coalition was strongly expected...
We got a Tory majority and Scotland voting SNP across the board.


Remain was even more strongly expected...
We got Brexit


Clinton had it in the bag, said all of the commentators and the bookies...
Trump triumphs.



One might wonder... are people simply looking at "what is expected to happen" and voting the opposite way to upset the apple cart? Has the public fallen in love with the underdog result?

Tories are going to be firm bookies favourite to win this GE and remain in power... so, might the smart money be on the exact opposite? Worth considering .
